Can I hang wallpaper over textured wallpaper?

• <div><p>If you can already see the texture of the existing wallpaper through the layer of paint, then the texture could also come through the new layer of wallpaper. If that’s the aesthetic you want, then proceed. But if you want a smoother surface, you should either strip off the existing paint and wallpaper or hang a layer of liner paper before proceeding. </p></div>

Is it cheaper to paint or wallpaper?

• <div><p>It is less costly to paint than wallpaper when you only consider the upfront cost. Wallpaper costs <b>$320 to $820</b> when applied by a pro, while paint only costs <b>$200 to $700 per room</b>. However, when comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-wallpaper-vs-paint.htm">wallpaper versus paint</a>, consider the long-term as well. Wallpaper can save you money over time since it has a much longer life span than paint.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when deciding if I should DIY my project?

• <div><p>While some people are confident in their ability to replace concrete by drilling out the broken pieces and replacing them with bagged concrete, it&rsquo;s possible to run into snags that make hiring a professional worth it. Trying to level concrete slabs can require special equipment, which can be pricey to rent and tough to operate. It's also crucial to contact your town's municipal office to ensure you are allowed to take on the project without a permit.</p></div>

Q: Can you add new wallpaper over existing wallpaper?

• <div><p>In most cases, you cannot wallpaper over existing wallpaper. It&rsquo;s possible to wallpaper over non-coated wallpaper, but vinyl-coated wallpaper is much more prevalent in homes, so you generally shouldn&rsquo;t put new wallpaper over existing wallpaper. Adding a layer of wallpaper over vinyl-coated paper will lead to poor adhesion, leaving behind bubbles and imperfections in your wall. Plus, wallpapering over vinyl-coated wallpaper can lead to mold growth, which can be hazardous to your health. It&rsquo;s usually best to hire a local wallpaper removal service to handle the task to avoid these issues.</p></div>

Q: Why should I hire a professional wallpaper hanger?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-questions-ask-when-hiring-wallpaper-pro.htm">Hiring a professional wallpaper hanger</a> is usually a worthwhile idea because, while the application of wallpaper itself is easy, getting the finished product to look good is complicated and takes a lot of practice and patience. A professional wallpaper hanger will not only be able to hang your wallpaper seamlessly, but they will also get an even application of wallpaper paste to avoid bubbling and imperfections immediately and over time. Plus, they can provide their professional opinion on whether to remove or wallpaper over an existing layer of wallpaper.</p></div>

Did a good job installing drywall on a new wall. They were able to skim coat and texture 2 wall that had been previously painted over wallpaper with border at the ceiling, and made it look as though there never was any wallpaper there. Amazing!

This was the most fantastic experience. I purchased a home that was completely covered in 20 year old wallpaper. All the advice I had received was to just cover over it because removal would be expensive. I called Tom and the second he walked in the door he had a plan. My walls are...

I think the owner, who gave me the estimate, meant well but put me off right off the bat. While I was telling him what I wanted to do in that bathroom, which was fairly clear in my head, he kept trying to suggest ways that wouldn't involve actual replacement of components, even though I told him...

We purchased our house in Keizer and took possession on July 13th. The house was full of gaudy, flowered wallpaper that best fit an early American home. Needless to say, it was not of our liking. We were given Gordy's number by our real estate agent and told that he does wonders with wallpaper. ...

The only difference was in the final cost being more a little more than provided. But, it was well justified in the difficulty of removing the wallpaper. A joy to work with. Don

Michael removed the wallpaper (I started to remove) in a small bathroom, then prepped a messy wall in another bath and installed new paper in both rooms. I know the prep took longer than he thought, because he had some sheetrock repair, had to skim-coat an entire wall, and at the end I threw...

THe painting crew did an excellant job. However when they bid the wallpaper they bid it by $60.00 an hour. I assumed they would remove the wallpaper with a steamer. Instead they brought in a crew of 3-4 who removed the wallpaper BY HAND!!! It took them considerably longer than what should've...
